An assumption that not infrequently breaks. AFAIK, we generally adjust the tests when that happens, rather than considering it a bug in the code. I never thought we did that because there was a secret, undocumented guarantee of order, but to allow different code paths to be tested than we would test if we always specified an order. -- Kevin Grittner EDB: http://www.enterprisedb.com The Enterprise PostgreSQL Company -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
